Pearls and Pastries Feature + an announcement

Hello Loves,

Today I wanted to share with you a very special announcement! 

I AM REDOING MY OFFICE SPACE!

I am so excited! So with a room makeover comes lots of shopping! I wanted to share with out today a Etsy shop I have been loving!!

Pearls & Pastries

Okay. I might have an obsession but Lauren Gray the owner of Pearls & Pastries always has such amazing ss!!!  I cant help it! My husband pretty much hates Lauren, I , and my credit card right now! Just kidding! He just hates my late night shopping problems! Anyways, back to Pearls & Pastries amazing deals! I once did a deal that was "all prints $5.00" I think..... Another one she has offered in the past is "25% off your entire order". She is also an amazing person! This is how sweet she is! Late night I purchased a print I had always wanted. Well that same night  I commented on her Instagram picture of a new print she had added to the shop. I so wanted the new print!! Well, when I got my package she had sent me that print that I had commented on! I mean really? How adorable is that?!  Lauren is so talented and as sweet as can be! I swear I think she has glitter running in her veins! I will stop blabbing so you can see what I ordered from her! I swear, with this shop alone I could redo my entire office! PS. These prints will be in my new office! :) OKAY! I WILL STOP BLABBING NOW!

How cute is this card?

JENNA HIPP What's Hot Now Nail Collection (First Impression)

OMG OMG OMG!! My JENNA HIPP What's Hot Now Nail Collection came today!

.
So let me just give you a little info on Jenna Hipp. Jenna is best known as the "Celebrity Green Nails Stylist".  Jenna struggled with unwanted side effects such as nose bleeds from the well known "3 free" Nail lacquers. So as a celebrity nail stylist, Jenna set out to make a green nail polish that she and others experiencing nasty side effects from the "3 free" could enjoy, AND SHE DID!!

INTRODUCING

 JENN HIPP 

WHAT'S HOT NOW NAIL COLLECTION

This 12 mini nail lacquer set (plus a bonus nail file) is a quick dry five free formula. 

 These polishes Contain NO:

Dibutyl Phthalate

Formaldehyde Resin

Formaldehyde

Toluene

Camphor

So obviously I just got this maybe an hour ago and had to blog about it right away. I LOVE the packaging designed by HATCHBEAUTY. 

 First Impressions BEFORE USING THEM:

I thought the packaging was amazing. I loved the first 4 colors! Oh and the glitters. I liked all of the colors but wasn't sure that I was crazy in love with them all. I saw the red color and thought that I wouldn't get much use out of it because I don't really wear red and I have a ton of reds. 

First Impressions AFTER USING THEM:

One word...OBSESSED! OBSESSED WITH THEM ALL!!!! I need more! I'm super scared.. what happens when I use them all up!??? Ill cry!! I just went to order more... SOLD OUT! ehhhh!! okay okay, calm down Lauren..Its just Nail Polish... Anyways, the color pay off is amazing, it doesn't have a nasty smell like other polishes do, the bottles are cute, I LOVE THE BRUSH, I love the colors. Seriously, I was sooooo wrong about the red, its honestly one of my favorite colors. I really couldn't love any of the colors more! The formula is smooth. The only thing I didn't care for much is the dry time. I really liked 3 coats on one color and it took a little while for it to dry but hey! I wont be complaining about it. The colors are great and I love the finished result! It was so funny because I painted all the colors and loved them.. and then fell even more in love with them when I put a top coat on! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Go buy this mini set! RUN TO COSTCO...as fast as you can.. 

Oh, and I just wanted to say I am in NO WAY getting paid to say these things. THIS IS MY OWN OPINION! 100% HONEST!

Now to show you the colors! ehhh! so excited!

Man-E-Cure

Happy Mani Monday Dolls,


Today I am going to show you how to give a very easy Man-e-cure to any man in your life. This would be a great gift for someone who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a birthday gift, Father's day gift, or an anniversary gift! This is also a great surprise for any hardworking man in your life! I mean, the list goes on and on!!

First lets gather up all the supplies you need.

1. bowl   2. soap   3. nail clippers   4 .nail file   5.cuticle pusher  

 6. cuticle clippers (optional)   7. cuticle oil   

 8 .nail brush   9. lotion   10. a towel (not pictured until later)  

 11. tap water 

and obviously a clean level surface to work on with chairs.

 I chose to do this Man-E-Cure on my kitchen island. 

BEFORE

Lets get started

1. Add soap to clean bowl

2. Add warm water in bowl and place a towel underneath

 3. Soak the first hand that you are going to work on for a couple minutes

4. Clean dirt from under nails

LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER THAT LOOKS

5. Push back cuticles with cuticle pusher & clip cuticles (optional)

   6. Trim nails & file

 7. Brush nails & underneath nails to remove any dirt and oil.

NOW REPEAT WITH OTHER HAND!

                 8. Massage hands & add cuticle oil if desired

OPI: Gargantuan Green Grape

DOLLS!!

When I say I'm obsessed..I mean I'M OBSESSED with OPI's Gargantuan green grape! This is by far my new favorite color! Its unlike any other Essie or OPI I own. Its like a vivid almost neon light green. It looks awesome with a golden tan. I really like the effect I get from 3 layers. Its a little sheer when it first goes on but it can totally be built up to look more opaque. If you are in the market for a new summer nail color I HIGHLY suggest you pick this one up!!

I got this bracelet set from ALDO.
